A review by kathrynjonesreads
One Illumined Thread by Sally Colin-James

hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

3.5

This is a good book, that is impressive in depth of research and epic in its scope, especially notable from a debut author. We follow three women in three very different timelines: modern-day Australia, Renaissance-era Florence, and ancient Judea. Each woman's story tells of how she works with her circumstances to creatively and bravely determine her own future.

For me, personally, I think I would have preferred 3 separate stories as switching between the three women didn't work well for me. Each of these women deserved their own story, in my opinion, or potentially a little more commonality to hold the three stories together more.

Overall, an enjoyable and impressive book.
